When I feel that much fresh and excited was such a long time ago; probably when I was in love with my first boyfriend at university and few days were left to open the fall semester so I would had been able to seen him…

That freshness for the semester and excitement for the love, the friends…

When we decided to get marry last November, I was working in Istanbul – I was in love w my job- and he was working in Bursa and everything seems control and easy that we will be living and working in Istanbul by a inter-departmental transfer of him.

So John Lennon tweets again in my life-timeline “Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans.”

I don’t know since when I haven’t been writing to this blog. Let’s say 1 year at most.

Big alterations required time.

I am married now. A big friendly wedding followed by a marvelous honeymoon in Santorini.

I will tell about each detail of this 1 long year but I will begin with happy end .

First we have just 1 week for our vacation so, we don’t want to spend our limited days on a flight and trying to overcome jetlag.

Europe is the target for honeymoon under such conditions. Indeed I traveled many countries, a summerish holiday is demanded and Greece was winner due to it’s physical and cultural proximity.
santorini was the answer. We looked through AirBnB and booked our place in akrotiri, santorini on December.

This is or place Aura Marina apartments in Akrotiri.

Booked our ticket on application Hopper which shows the highest and lowest rates of the route , and calculates when it could be lower.

Aeagen airlines have non-direct flights to Santorini. First you must stop in Athens Airport, a decent and shop lover style. Later you need to take a 45 minutes flight to Santorini.

Santorini is a small and a mountainous island with 3 big villages. Oia ( the symbol of the island), Thira ( the center village, port is there) , Akrotiri, ( small and southern village, close to beaches)

You better rent an ATV or car. It is a toursitc island in Greece do not wait proper public buses. And please enjoy your time and do not depend on anything.

Island is not cheap. We spend for our dinners ( 3 mezes, 1 main course, ouzo or wine (glass)) 50-70 euro in different parts of the island.

Sunset is incredible, I think in aegean region is incredible for sunset but Oia and Thira is special due to its architecture.
